This is More Than a Practice.
It’s a Pathway Home
Welcome,
I created heARTflow Creative for seekers—creators, healers, and way-finders—ready to come home to their body, heart and creative presence. This is where art becomes medicine, somatic inquiry meets heart coherence, and flow becomes a way of being.
My Journey to heARTflow
I wasn’t always living in flow.
​
For decades, I followed the prescribed rules of success — climbing the corporate ladder, driving myself toward goals, and wearing my leadership role like a second skin. On the outside, I appeared accomplished. On the inside, I felt untethered — burned out, stressed, and increasingly disconnected from my own center. Somewhere along the way, the role I was playing had quietly become my identity.
​
In 2015, in a quiet studio in the Wallowa Mountains, something shifted. I picked up a paintbrush for the first time in years — not to create something beautiful, but simply to feel. With each swirl of color, I noticed old patterns begin to soften. My nervous system settled. My breath deepened. I wasn’t striving or performing — I was listening.
​
Through painting, I discovered something simple and profound: just like on the canvas, when you don’t like what you see, you don’t have to start over. You can paint over it. One brushstroke at a time. That understanding changed how I began to reimagine my life — creating movement where I once felt stuck, and allowing change to emerge gently rather than through force.
​
That experience became the foundation for a way of working that blends art, somatic movement, and heart coherence — a practice rooted not in doing more, but in sensing more. Over time, I deepened into Reiki, HeartMath®, yoga, and Qigong, weaving these practices together with creativity to support nervous system regulation, embodied awareness, and inner alignment.
​
As I peeled away the layers of who I thought I had to be, I began sharing this medicine of creativity with others — facilitating workshops, guiding retreats, and co-creating spaces where people could reconnect with their bodies, their intuition, and their own innate wisdom.
​​
Today, heARTflow Creative is more than a practice. It’s a way of life — a pathway back to authentic presence, where heart, art, and embodied flow converge.

A Trauma-Sensitive, Heart-Centered Guide
As a Certified Creatively Fit Coach, Reiki Master Teacher, HeartMath® Certified Practitioner and Trauma-Sensitive HeartMath® Practitioner, RYT200 Yoga Teacher, and Qigong practitioner, I create a safe, nurturing space for deep healing and creative exploration. Grounded in the emerging field of NeuroArts—where aesthetics, creativity and physiology intersect—I integrate somatic inquiry, subtle-body awareness and heart-coherence practices into all my programs.
My approach weaves together:
• Heart Coherence — aligning breath, heart and nervous system for clarity and flow.
• Creative Expression — intuitive art and ritual as embodied self-exploration.
• Somatic Movement & Subtle Body Attunement — gentle movement, Qigong-inspired flow, energy awareness and nervous-system regulation.
• Sacred Cycles & Symbolism — the rhythms of the moon, seasons and the Medicine Wheel as mirrors to our inner landscape.
Together, we journey beyond surface-level practices into into deeper coherence, integration, and embodied presence.
